The Cause

The A21 Campaign stands for abolishing injustice in the 21st century. They help rescue and provide the victims of human trafficking with a safe and comforting environment, access to medical and psychological care, vocational training, secondary education assistance, counseling and access to legal assistance.

There are more slaves in the world today than at any other point in human history, with an estimated 27 million in bondage across the globe. Men, women, and children are being exploited for manual and sexual labor against their will. Women and children are often kidnapped into the industry or sold into it by family under desperate circumstances. The average age of victims continues to grow younger as clients seek "fresh" product.

Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. As the world’s fastest growing criminal industry, it affects every nation across the globe. Every thirty seconds, someone is forced into this type of bondage—modern slavery.
